This past
weekend I had the privilege of taking part in the Four Corners Geo-Tourism
Fair at Sky City Cultural
Center and Haak'u Museum.
"Sky
City Cultural Center and Haak'u Museum rich
in cultural architecture, serves as the reception center and museum for
visitors to the Pueblo of Acoma. It is the gateway to Acoma “Sky City”. Acoma
Pueblo, New Mexico is more than just a tourist destination. It's part of New
Mexico's cultural heritage, as the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in
North America and the 28th Historic Site designated by the National Trust for
Historic Preservation. Acoma history is also the story of the Southwest, from
its initial role as the home to the Anasazi people, to the thirteenth century
founding of the Pueblo, which is still alive and well as a community and
touchstone for Native Americans in the area and nationwide." http://www.acomaskycity.org/home.html
It
was a weekend of history, culture, heritage, environment and preservation. It
was an exciting time. A part of the weekend included a tour of the Acoma Pueblo.
Christa Romme took some photo's of local dancers, the church and a statue that stands outside the Center.

Regional Geotourism MapGuide council for the last three years. Geotourism MapGuide also includes a website: A
